FYE Instruction
We believe that all students should begin their college career with a basic foundation of information in the academic environment, regardless of their experiences prior to entering college. To help reach this goal, we’ve partnered with Advising and LCDI to join in the FYE Lab instruction efforts. The Library’s contribution to the FYE Lab experience includes asynchronous content through the first 10 weeks as well as an in-person instruction session during week 7 on evaluating sources.
Your FYE research assignment may be the first opportunity your students have to apply what they learn in the Lab. We can work with you to tailor an in-class instruction session to your assignment and help bridge the gap between concept and application. Possible session topics include:
- Working with primary sources
- Finding and using news sources
- Developing a research topic
- Searching in library databases
- Reading a scholarly article
- Creating an annotated bibliography
- Open search time with librarian support
- AI and the research process
